Mandarin Oriental
One Central

Lago Nam Van, Macau

The project consists of one hotel/serviced apartment tower and seven residential towers on top of a retail podium. By virtue of its elongated site configuration, the buildings are aligned in an almost linear manner, while their volumetric undulations and height variations are intended to create a rhythm to echo the scenic backdrop of Nam Van Lake as well as a dialogue with the prominent Macau Tower in the distant vicinity.

The sharp and crystalline shapes of the hotel/serviced apartment tower (new Mandarin Oriental), accentuated by the glamour of the nearby casino complexes, help orchestrate an architectural ensemble for the entire NAPE waterfront.
